Greatest Generation: WWII Vet Breaks Down, Says This Isn’t ‘Country We Fought For’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Much of what American soldiers fought for in World War II has “gone down the drain,” according to U.S. Marine Carl Spurlin Dekel, who celebrated his 100th birthday last week.

Dekel says serving his country in WWII was the most important thing he ever did, according to Fox 13. The veteran and Silver Star holder says he wouldn’t hesitate to put his life on the line again, but regrets that the U.S. has slipped away from what he remembers.

“People don’t realize what they have,” Dekel told the outlet. “The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain.”

“We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all,” he says. “Nobody will have the fun I had. Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It’s just not the same and that’s not what our boys, that’s not what they died for.”

Dekel’s statements came the same day the U.S. lost the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from WWII. Hershel “Woody” Williams died Wednesday at 98 years old, surrounded by his family at a hospital named after him in his home state of West Virginia.

WATCH: Jordan Peterson Refuses to Bend the Knee to ‘Toxic’ Twitter, Says He’d ‘Rather Die’ Than Delete Tweet About Transgender Actor Elliot Page

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jordan Peterson faces a permanent ban on Twitter if he does not delete a tweet about transgender actor Elliot Page. The professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Toronto proclaimed that he would “rather die” than conform to Twitter’s rules and delete the tweet in question.

Peterson’s tweet posted on June 22 read: “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.”

In the tweet, Peterson linked to an article titled: “Elliot Page is ‘proud’ to introduce trans character on ‘Umbrella Academy.’” . . .

The best-selling author defiantly responded to his Twitter suspension in a 14-minute-long YouTube video, during the diatribe he said he would not bend the knee to the “toxic” “rat-hole” social media platform.

“I’ve essentially been banned from Twitter as a consequence,” Peterson said. “I say ‘banned’ although technically I’ve been suspended. But the suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the hateful tweet in question, and I would rather die than do that. Hopefully, it will not come to that, although who the hell knows in these increasingly strange days.”

A Tale of Two July Fourths: No Fireworks for Dems This Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .President Biden strutted into the Fourth of July a year ago on solid political footing, declaring the nation’s independence from the coronavirus.

Twelve months later, Mr. Biden is stumbling into the fireworks and festivities bruised — and struggling to convince voters he can right the ship.

Larry Jacobs, a political science professor at the University of Minnesota, said the change over the last year is “night and day.”

“Optimism among Democrats took a hit by the failure to pass the Build Back Better agenda and the subsequent Democratic fighting,” Mr. Jacobs said. “The situation has only gotten worse for Dems — inflation haunts all Americans and will likely go up in the coming months.” (Read more from “A Tale of Two July Fourths: No Fireworks for Dems This Year” HERE)

Governor Won’t Let ‘Tragedy’ of Child Rape Dictate Abortion Access (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) held firm when pressed to consider a recent “tragedy” involving child rape while conversing about the hot-button issue of abortion access.

South Dakota is one of 13 states with a “trigger” law designed to go into effect once the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which came to fruition last month. The state’s ban, which was signed into law in 2005, prohibits all abortions except to save the life of the mother.

Focusing on there not being an exception for rape, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Noem on Sunday to “be clear” as to whether South Dakota would “force” the same 10-year-old girl who was recently denied an abortion in Ohio to have a baby.

After some back-and-forth, Noem stood by her state’s position. “I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy, and so there’s more that we’ve got to do to make sure that we really are living a life that says, ‘Every life is precious.’ Especially innocent lives that have been shattered like that 10-year-old girl,” she said.

Kamala Harris Appears to Compare Roe Ruling to Legacy of Slavery

/2 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to draw a connection between the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade the legacy of slavery over the weekend.

Harris made the comparison while participating in a fireside conversation Saturday afternoon with actress Keke Palmer at the Essence Festival, one of the nation’s largest African American cultural gatherings which took place in New Orleans. While speaking to the crowd, the vice president argued that the high court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization served as an example of the United States “trying to claim ownership over human bodies.”

“This is a serious matter,” Harris began while denouncing the court’s decision. “And it requires all of us to speak up, to speak out, and to be active.”

“We have to recognize we’re a nation that was founded on certain principles that are — that are grounded in the concept of freedom and liberty,” she continued moments later. “We also know that we’ve had a history in this country of government trying to claim ownership over human bodies. And we had supposedly evolved from that time and that way of thinking. So this is very problematic on so many levels.”

While she did not explicitly reference slavery, Harris’s comment about the country’s history of “government trying to claim ownership over human bodies” appeared to serve as a reference to the darkest stain on the United States’ legacy.

Cheney: ‘I Can Make Sure Trump Never Gets Anywhere Close to the Oval Office Again’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is cautioning the GOP if President Trump were to run for the White House again in 2024.

During an interview on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Cheney said that the Republican Party can’t survive if Trump wins the GOP nomination.

“I think that he can’t be the party nominee. And I don’t think the party would survive that… I believe in the party, and I believe in what the party can be and what the party can stand for. And I’m not ready to give that up,” Cheney said.

She went on to falsely claim that “millions of Republicans have been betrayed by Donald Trump,” saying that he has torn the country and the Republican Party apart.

San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property

/0 Comments/in , /by

As if parking in San Francisco wasn’t already difficult, the city’s planning commission took it a step further after threatening a couple with a $1,500 fine for parking their vehicle in their own driveway.

Ed and Judy Craine, a San Francisco couple who have parked car after car in their driveway for nearly 40 years, received a $1,542 warning from city officials stating parking a car in their driveway violated a code section that banned vehicles from parking in the setback in front of houses — regardless if it doesn’t block a sidewalk, ABC7 reported. To make matters worse, the city would add $250 per day if the car wasn’t removed from the driveway that “as far they could tell” was used as a place to park vehicles since the house was built in 1910.

“To all of a sudden to be told you can’t use something that we could use for years,” Ed told ABC7. “It’s, it’s startling. Inexplicable.”

“It was very surprising, to say the least,” Judy said. “I wrote them back saying I thought this was a mistake.”

But the city said otherwise and gave them a chance to prove that past residents have historically used the space a lot. If successfully, they might get a waiver. (Read more from “San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property” HERE)

Undercover Footage: Women Drugged With Xanax Before Speaking to Abortionist (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the pro-life movement celebrates the U.S. Supreme Court officially overturning Roe v. Wade with its Dobbs v. Jackson decision, those in the movement have also been contending with calling out abortion abuse where it is ongoing. Just before the Court handed down the Dobbs decision, Live Action released undercover footage showing the abuses committed by Dr. Cesare Santangelo, who performs abortions at the Washington Surgi-Clinic. His website advertises performing abortions up until 31 weeks and six days, which is into the third trimester.

The undercover footage, filmed in January of this year with a pregnant investigative activist presenting herself as a patient, reveals that patients have to take Xanax and have their pants off when speaking to the abortionist.

A nurse also reveals that they perform “a lot” of abortions at or past 28 weeks – the start of the third trimester – that are not for medical emergencies.

Given how late into pregnancy the procedure would be performed, the nurse also informs the patient there’s a possibility that she could go into premature labor before then in her hotel room. The patient was merely told to call the facility and they’ll tell her what to do next. After signing forms confirming they’ve had such a discussion, she’s told that the doctor “could come and help you take care of it.”

POLL: 71% Of Voters Don’t Want Biden In 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

An overwhelming majority of American voters don’t want Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024, according to a recent Harvard CAPS–Harris poll.

71% of Americans surveyed said they do not want Biden to seek a second term, and 29% indicated he should. Among those who opposed Biden’s second term, 45% said he should not make a second bid because “he’s a bad president,” 30% said Biden, who is about to turn 80 this year, is “too old” and 26% said, “it’s time for a change.” Additionally, 60% of voters have doubts about Biden’s mental fitness for office. The poll was conducted from June 28-29, 2022 among 1,308 registered U.S. voters. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll.

Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll weighed in, saying Biden may want to run again, but “the voters say ‘no,’” The Hill reported. Penn also noted, “only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him [Biden] in a Democratic presidential primary,” the outlet continued.

‘Restrictive’ Gun and Ammunition Controls Failed to Prevent Copenhagen Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

Denmark has some of the most stringent gun controls in the world, yet numerous people were shot and some killed Sunday at the Field’s shopping mall in Copenhagen.

Danish police confirmed multiple people were shot at the mall and that “several” have been killed, Breitbart News reported.

Police inspector Søren Thomassen said, “We know that there are several dead…[and] several injured,” according to the Associated Press.

The University of Sydney’s GunPolicy.org categorizes Denmark’s gun control as “restrictive,” and they note that “the right to gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.”

Moreover, Denmark requires would-be gun owners to first get a license from the government. Only licensed individuals may own or transfer a gun and ammunition. Also, even with a license individuals can only purchase ammunition that matches the firearm(s) they own.
